I apologize for the very basic question, but I'm trying to wrap my head around how wet sanding as shown above can make such a drastic improvement on orange peal. Correct me if I'm wrong, but to my understanding, orange peel is caused by texture on the base coat most likely due to overspray...

Everyone has given really good advise. I won't add anything new, just confirm the suggestions already provided. I too have a Tahoe as a daily driver, and there is a lot of real estate to cover. So unless you want your wife to think you're crazy for spending 12 hours of you Saturday in the...

I've had the GG6" for about 2 years. I was using over Thanksgiving and the black head casing became loose. It turns out, the screw/bolt that connects the motor casing to the black head had sheared in two. I called AG and they talked to Griots and sent me out a new one with in a day. It was...

Thanks everyone for the input. As an update, I packed a 16 oz bottle of pinnacle PWCL and a jar of Pinnacle SSII in a ziplock bag in my checked luggage on a Southwest flight with no problems. Everything made it to my destination w/o incident and no little note that says my bag went through...

Thanks everyone. If I had thought it earlier, I would have shipped them, but now, I'd have to pay a lot for them to arrive when I need them. Glad to hear I can just check them and save money.

I am visiting my parents for Christmas and want to show my dad some basic car maintenance steps. I am brining him a jar of Pinnacle SSII and PWCL. Does anyone know if I will have any problems checking them in my luggage on a Southwest flight?

Those should work just as well from I've heard.

Welcome. The key to getting white to look great is making sure the paint is very clean. Swirls don't show up too bad, but any dirt, iron, or any other surface deposits show up easily. If its been neglected, you'll want to clay really well with an semi aggressive clay. I really like Wolfgangs...

I would love to try out GPS and write a review. I have a number of Optimum products and love then all. Picking a favorite is like picking a favorite kid. I love Opti-clean, you can use it for everything. I've only tried poli-seal on a one door, and loved it. It took care of 95% of defects and...

Yah those are about 2 years old, before they went to the hot wire cut.

6 months, that's good to know. I won't be testing durability this time since I'd like to do some correction work and Christmas holiday is the only time I have over the next two quarters. So regardless, the DW is coming off over Christmas.

Normally, I clean them with OPC diluted 2:1 for no other reason than it's easy. Then I protect them with 303, 1-2 times a month. This keeps then black and non-slippery. This time, I found an old bottle of Mother's back to black that I hadn't used in a while, so gave that a try. It gives a...

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the kind words and encouragement. I was very happy with the wax and how it came out.

I purchased Diamond White on BOGO last week and received some help from forum members on the product, so I figured now would be a good time to write my first product review. Prep: I applied Dodo Juice Diamond White to it my white 2007 Tahoe. I had planned on doing a minor correction using...
